What is the Distributive Property?

It's a property used to simplify equations with parentheses. To apply the distributive property, multiply the number outside the parentheses by each term inside the parentheses.

How to isolate a variable in an equation?

The goal is to get the variable (like 'x' or 'k') by itself on one side of the equation. This is done by performing opposite operations on both sides of the equation to undo any operations affecting the variable.

What is verification in equation solving?

This is the final step in solving an equation. Substituting the value you found for the variable back into the original equation. Both sides of the equation should be equal if you've solved correctly.

What are opposite operations in equation solving?

Opposite operations are used to isolate the variable. If the variable is being multiplied, you divide by that number on both sides. If the variable is being added to a number, you subtract that number from both sides.
